    Other flying insects that are closely related to bees are?

    • Lice

    • Flies

    • Ticks

    • Wasps

    Correct Answer
    A. Wasps
    Explanation
    Wasps are closely related to bees because they belong to the same insect order, Hymenoptera. Both bees and wasps are social insects and share similar characteristics such as a stinger, a narrow waist, and similar body structures. While bees are known for their role in pollination, wasps are predatory insects that help control populations of other insects. Despite their differences in behavior and appearance, bees and wasps are closely related and belong to the same group of flying insects.

    In ant colonies, the fertile males are called? - ProProfs

    In ant colonies, the fertile males are called?

    • Biters

    • Draws

    • Flies

    • Drones

    Correct Answer
    A. Drones
    Explanation
    In ant colonies, the fertile males are called drones. Drones are responsible for mating with the queen and their main purpose is to fertilize the queen's eggs. Unlike worker ants, drones do not have any specific tasks or responsibilities within the colony. They are larger in size and have wings, which they use to fly out of the colony in search of a mate. Once they have mated, drones usually die shortly after, as their sole purpose is to pass on their genetic material to future generations of ants.

    The lifespan of an early bumblebee is? - ProProfs

    The lifespan of an early bumblebee is?

    • 2years

    • 7 months

    • 28 days

    • 99 days

    Correct Answer
    A. 28 days
    Explanation
    The lifespan of an early bumblebee is 28 days. Bumblebees have a relatively short lifespan compared to other insects. They go through a complete metamorphosis, starting as eggs and then progressing through larval and pupal stages before becoming adults. Once they reach adulthood, their main purpose is to mate and reproduce. The short lifespan of 28 days is due to the intense activity and energy expenditure required for foraging, nest building, and mating. Additionally, factors such as predation, disease, and environmental conditions can also contribute to the relatively short lifespan of bumblebees.

    Correct Answer
    A. Anthophila
    Explanation

The term "Anthophila" is derived from Greek words "anthos" meaning flower and "philein" meaning to love, which accurately describes the bee's role as pollinators. Bees, belonging to the order Hymenoptera, are known for their important role in the pollination of flowering plants, making Anthophila an appropriate scientific name for these insects.
